Ezio, the knife-wielding star of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II, also has a few more tricks up his sleeve, including the ability swim(!) and access to a handy bat-like glider, according to new media.
Italian site MondoXbox has a batch of new Assassin’s Creed II screens that make no secret of Ezio’s improved abilities, which look to include diving, freestyle stroke swimming and a complete lack of reliance on water wings. Given the numerous, wet-by-nature canals that the newest assassin will have to leap over and swim through, the addition of not instantly drowning will be a welcome one.http://kotaku.com/5206809/meet-assassins-creed-iis-new-assassin
Some of these shots may be familiar to Game Informer subscribers, as a few pieces of the artwork and in-game shots have already appeared in print. But these curiously early shots show a hell of a lot more.
The latest batch of art and screens for Pandemic’s The Saboteur display some of the more tangible benefits of being an Irish racing mechanic liberating France from Nazi oppression. Read more…
Following the official announcement of Paramount’s Star Trek D-A-C yesterday, Cryptic sent us a trio of exclusive Star Trek Online screens to remind fans that there’s much more than a top-down shooter in the works.
Out of the three images that Cryptic passed along, the top one here is the one that truly spoke to the Star Trek fan in me. That right there, my friends, is a starship that’s boldly going somewhere to seek out some stuff. The planet-side depicts a nice place to pick up alien spores or lose your memory and live life as a caveman, and the third shot reinforces the fact that things will indeed be exploding in space. Very nice, but the first shot makes me desperately hope that there’s some sort of epic travelling music in the game.
How can you spoil BioShock 2? You already know the gameplay and setting from BioShock — or so you think.
Good thing the preview 2K showed was a “fake” level that won’t appear in the final game, making it impossible to spoil BioShock 2 for anybody and focusing more on the game itself and less on the spoiling. But, if you’re the sensitive type, you have been warned: *HERE BE SPOILERS*
“Hunting the Big Sister” is a short preview level that contains elements of BioShock 2 that will be in the final game. The first of those elements is obviously the protagonist – the original Big Daddy. See? Not a spoiler. Nothing new here, move along, move along.
It’s 10 years after the events of the first game and for some reason, we’re back in Rapture and not much has changed. The producers say there’s a reason for this and that they don’t want to presuppose a canon ending for the first game. Fingers crossed it’s not “the first game was all a dream,” because that would make both games terrible instead of just the sequel.
The demo level starts with your character coming to in a partially flooded chamber of Rapture as Tenenbaum orders you to get up. Since you are the first Big Daddy, you’re not subject to the mind control the other Big Daddies suffer – but how can you refuse a beautiful woman with a German accent? Read more…
Southpeak Games has announced that Velvet Assassin, as every single game before it, has gone gold. The publisher celebrates this accomplishment with new screens, including one of heroine Summer Violette stabbin’ Nazis in the chest.
While that may be enough to sell you on the World War II era game, the publisher’s proclamation that Velvet Assassin “excels in its ability to make players feel something more than just gameplay” might just send you into a tizzy.
Interestingly, nowhere in the press release announcing the game’s imminent release—it ships to retailers on April 30th—is the word “stealth” mentioned.
More screens of forthcoming third-person-shooter Lost Planet 2 trades snowy landscapes of the first game for dusty jungles.
